Do you mean new or used? I think it's quite rare to see used ones for sale.

For new, I suggest contacting Curt Aigner at Elmhurst Toyota, they are in Illinois, that's where I got mine. Call him at

weekly hours are 4:30am-4:30pm M-F

PS: you might first want to decide if you want the early 93-95 style headlight which is what the euro glass versions are, or if you want the "98 look" I don't think glass ones come that way.

I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know the UK style is the same as the "euro" style, which are the standard glass lense headlights.

In any case, since I have the euro headlights I can confirm that the low beam pattern is quite different than what we see in the U.S. They are not brighter or dimmer since that is determined by the bulb wattage and projector beam which are the same; what is different is that there is a "mask" inside the headlight (a V shaped piece of metal) which keeps the low beam pattern spread across low in the front and then up on the right side; our normal U.S. low beam headlights project out a little more and are more even across the front. Of course the aim of the euro's can be adjusted, even with the remote headlight aiming motor option if you want to install those; and if you don't like that low across front/up on the right pattern, I've heard you can remove or cut that mask out - I haven't removed mine yet but I did re-aim them to my liking. When I hit the high beams, they seem normal since I don't believe there is a mask in those.
